PREFACE 

The  following  bibliograjjhy  was  suljmiltcd  to  the  New  York  State 
Library  School  as  one  of  its  graduation  requirements,  by  a  member 
of  the  class  of  1914.  As  indicated  by  the  title,  it  attempts  to 
include  all  fiction,  in  book  form,  touching  upon  Jewish  life,  that 
has  been  written  in  English  in  England  and  America.  It  is  not  a 
selected  list  but  contains  all  material  of  which  the  compiler  was  able 
to  get  any  trace. 

With  few  exceptions  it  is  arranged  by  the  country  in  which  the 
scene  of  the  story  is  laid  and  it  is  followed  by  an  author  and  title 
index.  Under  some  headings  there  are  not  more  than  one  or  two 
entries,  but  it  has  seemed  desirable  to  make  the  headings  as  specific 
as  possible. 

In  the  main  entry  under  country,  besides  author,  title,  publisher 
and  date,  there  are  included  paging  and  listed  price  wherever 
possible.  Those  entries  marked  with  an  e  ha\e  been  personally 
examined. 

Annotations  are  given  for  nearly  all  entries  and  those  quoted 
either  wholly  or  in  substance  are  followed  by  the  source.  The 
unsigned  annotations  are  by  the  compiler. 

The  sources  consulted  are :
